Commemorating the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s nailing of the ninety-five theses on the door at Wittenberg, an act of dissent that is often taken as inaugurating the Protestant Reformation, this series tells four stories of religious dissidents, reformers, and revolutionaries in the centuries surrounding Luther’s catalytic act.
